US customary scale ratio (1/2) vs ISO std. (1:2)

US customary scale ratio (1/2) vs ISO std. (1:2)

(OP)
A number of years back, a question was asked regarding replacing the Solidworks standard ISO scale ratio (1:2) with US customary scale (1/2).
This thread is thread559-111908: SCALE 1:2 VS 1/2

The final answer was great, however it only applied to detail view labels, auxiliary view labels and section view labels.

We have a client that is very particular about drawing formats. Using US customary scale with fractional or slash scale divisor is one of their rigid requirements. This applies everywhere in the drawing, including the title block.

So the question is how do I make the SW Custom Property $PPR:"SW-Sheet Scale" display the scale as 1/2 rather than 1:2?

Thanks for your help!
